Pursue your dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks.

When I won the first Grammy, there was no other feeling like that feeling. It just made me feel like I came so far, like that was just a dream a few years before that, and then it was happening right then.

I wanted to be famous, I wanted everybody to love me. I wanted to be a star. I worked really hard, and my dream came true.

I'm just a girl, With a dream that got the best of me, In a world that believes fame is everything.

You don't have to go out and party every night. You can act because it's your dream.

My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.
